<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PeteB, post: 4907429, member: 99412&quot;]Rough, but I think my old eyes see the end of the reverse legend: Ζ? ΑΝΤΙΩΝ.</p><p>If the z is correct it. Would sound out ZANTION.</p><p>Not too many ancient city names end that way. ΒYZANTION is one. So bingo, it matches the city sent to you by Edessa.</p><p>So sounding out Greek letters is important. Not all letters are hard to read...as in the above case. You only had to know or look up Ω.</p><p>Next, you have to study city names on line or in references to get a feel for what the Greek letters are telling you. There is no substitute for months and years of studying Greek and Greek Imprerial/Roman provincials. But that&#039;s all part of a very rewarding hobby.</p><p>Good luck. Don&#039;t give up. Don&#039;t feel that you can&#039;t come to CT for help, despite my dumping on you. We will be here for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
